/.:/hosts/host_name/cds-clerk The name of the cdsclient operation for
which to display help information.
ATTRIBUTES
The number of authentication failures encountered by the client since
it started. The number of times the client bypassed the cache when
looking for information. The number of times the client used the cache
when looking for information. The date-time stamp representing when
the current client started. The number of non-read, non-write opera‐
tions processed by the client since it started. The number of protocol
errors encountered by the client since it started. The number of read
operations processed by the client since it started. The number of

OPERATIONS
